OpenCV error in setting resolution with c910

Ask Ubuntu Asked by evan54 on October 19, 2020

I’ve been trying to use OpenCV to control my webcam (Logitech c910) through python. I ‘ve managed to capture images through .read() but they are 640 x 480 and I haven’t managed to set the resolution to the max which is 2592 x 1944.

I used to have opencv 2.4.8 but now I have 3.0.0-dev

Here is the code I try and the outputs:

In [1]: import cv2
In [2]: cap = cv2.VideoCapture(1)
HIGHGUI ERROR: V4L/V4L2: VIDIOC_S_CROP
In [3]: cap.open(1)
HIGHGUI ERROR: V4L2: Pixel format of incoming image is unsupported by OpenCV
Out[3]: True
In [4]: r,f = cap.read()
VIDIOC_STREAMON: Bad file descriptor
In [5]: r
Out[5]: False

I installed 3.0.0-dev following the instructions from this other question I posted.
How to install opencv 2.9 for python?

The reason I went with the dev version is because in this post someone said that resolved their problem.

Since you're building opencv from sources, try to follow the build process used by the debian packaging to ensure the compatibility with linux. I'm thinking about the V4L2 support for example:

CMAKE_ARCH_FLAGS += -DWITH_V4L=ON
